DNA-mediated self-assembly of single-walled carbon nanotubes into nanorings

摘要

Assembly into higher-order structures is very important to fully benefit from the extraordinary properties of nanomaterials. SWCNTs are assembled into nanorings using DNA hybridization. The oligonucleotides are covalently attached to the SWCNTs and an oligonucleotide complementary to the oligonucleotides covalently bound to SWCNTs is used to bring assemble them by hybridization.
